Bow River Irrigation District

Public Notice

Update On Irrigation Expansion

The district has nearly achieved its expansion limit of 260,000 assessed acres. Applications for expansion (current dryland parcels) will no longer be accepted. As approved applications are processed, some irrigation acres may become available due to cancellations or a reduction in number of acres purchased when an application is processed. These acres will now be made available for intensification (increasing assessed acres on existing irrigated parcels) only.

Currently the district has no acres available for intensification, but any interested irrigators are encouraged to apply.

If you have any parcels that are irrigated in excess of the assessment, and you do not have unused acres on other parcels that could be transferred to the deficient parcel, you will be subject to additional charges if you are unable to purchase or rent irrigation acres from another irrigator.

For your convenience, application forms are available at the office and in .pdf format at the following links.
